Yeah, so the Roanoke thing is kind of weak. I know it's a necessary evil for a few months, but I'm still not too happy about it. I still have a few good friends down here, but they're all very settled into the hometown lifestyle, which puts a very real barrier between us. I'm getting everything worked out at Western, which is good; but I still have to find a job, and that's proving harder than I thought it would be. I know I can get a job at a bar or restaurant, but I really want to avoid getting back into that life. It's a lot of fun, but I don't do anything productive. I'd just work until the end of my shift, and then drink with coworkers until I go home - not exactly what I need to be doing while I'm trying to get back into the school thing.
Why doesn't the Star Search guy come around with Publisher's Clearing House and give me a million dollars? That would make this so much simpler...
On the plus side, I talked to Jennifer this morning, and I think she and Mary are coming to visit next Wednesday - so things aren't all bad.
I kind of wish I could've just kept going on the trail, though. It's easy to forget how much living at home sucks when you're walking in the woods every day.
